Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:976-584
Dorman 976-180 rear drive shaft for the 2005-2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 carries power from the transmission to the rear differential. This Dorman drive shaft is a 2-piece steel assembly with a slip yoke.
Vibration that builds with speed or a clunk when you accelerate or shift can mean a worn drive shaft. Unbalanced tires, a worn transmission mount or a failing rear differential can be behind these signs too, so find the cause before buying.
This rear drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 2005-2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK350, which takes one.
